1.此後，押沙龍為自己預備車馬，又派五十人在他前頭奔走。
In the course of time, Absalom provided himself with a chariot and horses and with fifty men to run ahead of him.
2.押沙龍常常早晨起來，站在城門的道旁，凡有爭訟要去求王判斷的，押沙龍就叫他過來，問他說：「你是哪一城的人？」回答說：「僕人是以色列某支派的人。」
He would get up early and stand by the side of the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone came with a complaint to be placed before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out to him, 「What town are you from?」 He would answer, 「Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.」
3.押沙龍對他說：「你的事有情有理，無奈王沒有委人聽你申訴。」
Then Absalom would say to him, 「Look, your claims are valid and proper, but there is no representative of the king to hear you.」
4.押沙龍又說：「恨不得我作國中的士師！凡有爭訟求審判的到我這裏來，我必秉公判斷。」
And Absalom would add, 「If only I were appointed judge in the land! Then everyone who has a complaint or case could come to me and I would see that they receive justice.」
5.若有人近前來要拜押沙龍，押沙龍就伸手拉住他，與他親嘴。
Also, whenever anyone approached him to bow down before him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him and kiss him.
6.以色列人中，凡去見王求判斷的，押沙龍都是如此待他們。這樣，押沙龍暗中得了以色列人的心。
Absalom behaved in this way toward all the Israelites who came to the king asking for justice, and so he stole the hearts of the people of Israel.
